Red Flags
Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Cracking, Poor Snowpack Structure

Excellent snow conditions! Low light, was hard to see and the graupel interface was maybe the most surprisingly variable hazard I've seen this winter.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Variable areas of graupel pooling, it only appeared in certain spots (mostly under steeper slopes) but had two distinct layers each 10cm below each other. Had some energy with cracking, not much of a slab on those layers currently but it could present a growing hazard if more snow falls before it rounds out. </p> <p>Less wind at 10,000' than I was expecting but it certainly was enough to move the new snow around. </p>
